Move your Wix site
to a headless stack.
We migrate Wix sites to a real codebase with a proper headless CMS. Your design comes with you, your URLs stay intact, and your team gets out from under the drag-and-drop ceiling. No more Velo workarounds, no more middling performance scores, no more multi-language that fights you every time you touch it.
Trusted by
Wix was the easy start. Until the brand grew.
Wix is excellent at the first website. Pick a template, drag, drop, ship. It works until the brand asks for something the editor cannot do, until the marketing team needs proper components, until SEO and performance require more control than the platform exposes. The editor that was a feature becomes the ceiling.
The drag-and-drop editor is now a ceiling. Anything outside it is a Velo workaround.
Velo code lives inside Wix and nobody on the team is sure what it does or how to test it.
Performance scores stay middling no matter what you change, because the runtime is not yours.
SEO controls feel like a toggle and structured data has to be hand-injected page by page.
Multi-language is patched together with Wix Multilingual, which the team finds rigid every time it touches a translation.
Editor X or the new Studio promises more flexibility but still puts the layout on Wix's terms, not yours.
The Reality
Wix does not really give you an export. A real migration is the way out. It preserves the URLs, the design, and the SEO equity you have already earned.
What Survives the Move
Your design and SEO come along.
A Wix migration done properly preserves the work that already earned its keep. Visual design, content structure, and URL equity all carry over. The migration is in the plumbing underneath, not in what your visitors see.
-
Your visual design
rebuilt in code, faithful to the Wix version. We use the live site as the source of truth for layout while we replatform underneath.
-
Your content
exported through a structured crawl of the live site and the Wix Data API where collections are in use. Pages, posts, and dataset items move into the new content model.
-
All your URLs
every page slug, every blog post, every dynamic page URL. We catch the gotchas Wix auto-generates and ship a redirect map covering everything indexed.
-
Your media
moved off Wix's CDN, properly resized, and served as modern formats. No more 4 MB hero images, no more odd aspect-ratio crops.
-
Your forms and signups
rebuilt to submit somewhere you control. You stop paying Wix per submission and you stop being limited to their integrations.
What Changes
The drag-and-drop ceiling is gone.
Some Wix concepts do not survive the move, and that is the point. Master sections, the editor, and Velo are platform-shaped solutions to platform-shaped problems. They go away, and proper code-based equivalents take their place.
-
The Wix editor
is gone. Layout changes happen in code, content changes happen in a real CMS. Anchor positioning and absolute layouts go away.
-
Master sections and Velo code
become real components. They take props, accept variants, and live in source control. A change ships everywhere it is used.
-
Wix apps
either get rebuilt as features in the new stack, replaced by built-in equivalents, or dropped if nobody uses them anymore.
-
Hosting and CDN
you choose. Most clients land on Bunny, Cloudflare, or Vercel. Costs drop, performance improves, you stop paying per contributor.
-
Lock-in
ends. The site is yours. If you want to change agency, hosting, or CMS later, nothing physical is preventing it.
How It Works
The migration process
Audit and content model
We crawl the live site, pull data from any Wix Data collections, and review your blog posts, dynamic pages, Velo code, and any third-party Wix apps in the mix. Then we design the content model for the new CMS, including which Wix concepts to translate and which to drop. You approve the model before any code is written.
Rebuild in code, migrate the data
We rebuild the design in Astro, faithful to the Wix version. Components replace master sections, real CSS replaces the editor's absolute layout, real routing replaces dynamic page URL patterns. Content is imported into Storyblok or DatoCMS through their API. We test every page against the existing Wix site before cutover.
Cutover and 30 days of watching
We launch on a low-traffic window, swap DNS, and monitor Search Console, Analytics, and Core Web Vitals for 30 days. Wix stays live as a fallback during the watch window. After 30 days you decide whether to keep us on with a subscription or take it from here.
A note on Velo
Most Velo code is a workaround for the editor.
Half of the Velo code on a typical Wix site is patching limitations of the drag-and-drop editor itself. The other half does real work and earns its place. We list every Velo file at the audit stage and decide which logic translates to a real component, which goes away with the editor, and which needs a small custom service on the new stack.

Fixed price, no scope creep
Wix migrations vary in scope. A 30-page brand site with a blog and one Wix Data collection is one thing. A 200-page editorial site with deep Velo code, dynamic pages, and a multilingual setup is another. The ranges below are where typical projects land. Once we scope yours, you get a fixed quote.

Who This Is For
Who this is for
This works well if you
-
Outgrew the drag-and-drop model and need real customization
-
Run a content-led brand or marketing site on Wix and care about Core Web Vitals
-
Care about organic traffic and need every URL preserved through the move
-
Want a design system with real components, not master sections duplicated across pages
-
Need multi-language done properly, not bolted on with Wix Multilingual
-
Want to own your hosting and not depend on a single SaaS vendor
This is not a fit if you
-
Run Wix Stores or Wix Bookings as the core of the business and need a commerce-first or scheduling-first replatform. Different scope. Talk to us first
-
Use Wix as a small portfolio or marketing-only site that rarely changes. Migration is overkill
-
Need a non-technical DIY workflow with no developer involvement. That is what Wix is good at
-
Are not sure yet what is wrong. Start with a Headless Audit
-
Need a new build from scratch with no legacy to preserve. See Headless Website
